Gascogne
Traditional French cooking with an emphasis on southwestern dishes. Rustic French Country-Romantic candlelit tables which overlook a shady, rustic garden. During the holiday season, the garden houses a glorious Christmas tree, and snowmen are built with the first snowfalls.

Michelin 2008
A jewel in the heart of Chelsea, Gascogne sparkles with rustic fare from southwestern France. Fine cassoulet, foie gras and veal kidneys flamed with Armagnac are examples of carefully prepared dishes. In true French fashion the bar stocks a good selection of aged Armagnac.

In cold weather, ask for table by the window overlooking the garden  - complete with a Christmas tree in season, in summer you can dine outside in this shady space.

Zagat  2008
Its "warm farmhouse feel" "transports you to the South West of France", while this Chelsea "sleeper’s" “terrific cassoulet" and other "solid" bistro classics "warm" the soul; take a date to the "tres romantique" garden.

Time Out   2008
Named after a region noted for its culinary indulgences, this haute establishment is all about foie gras and other luxurious dishes - carefully prepared and presented. Time your visit right and the prices won’t break you  -  prix fixe menus offered lunch and dinner times and all evening Mondays for $29.
 
A verdant garden offsets the richness of the dishes with some good old alfresco dishes.
